Talked about peer review today for 25 min with a student who, by his own account, had little chance to pick up such social skills. Laid out where he had overstepped, formulas to ease communication, his talents, next steps. Tough convo; ended with friendly chatting.

Discussed the end of Daisy Miller today, and more kids said they enjoyed the story than not.
I feel like Henry James running over a 50% approval rating with high school sophomores is pretty solid.
